Celebrated New York stage actor and stand-up comedian Mario Cantone returns to Café Carlyle for five performances on May 19 and May 22 - 25. Cantone gained critical acclaim with his Tony-nominated one-man show, Laugh Whore, which began at the Cort Theatre on Broadway and was developed into a special on Showtime.
His other memorable Broadway shows include starring roles in the Tony Award-winning Assassins by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, and in Terrence McNally‘s Love! Valor! Compassion! Both shows were directed by four-time Tony-winner Joe Mantello. Cantone also appeared as Stephano in Shakespeare‘s The Tempest at the Public Theater and in the world premiere of the musical Bliss. Additionally, he has featured in The Aristocrats (2005), Surf’s Up (2007), Otherhood (2019), All My Life (2020), and Under the Boardwalk (2023).
On television, Cantone is best known as Anthony Marentino on HBO’s Sex and the City, which spawned the movie franchise, and the reboot entitled And Just Like That, which will return to Max for a third season this year. He also has recurred on the FX show Better Things and has performed his irreverent stand-up comedy at venues including Carnegie Hall and Atlantic City’s Borgata. He has headlined at Gotham Comedy Club and The Comedy Cellar, and most recently became the only stand-up comedy performance at the legendary Café Carlyle.
Cantone's other television appearances include Late Night with David Letterman, Wendy Williams, Jimmy Fallon, Oprah, Martha, The Today Show, multiple appearances on ABC’s The View and he is also a favorite on $100,000 Pyramid.
